Page 10 PAGE 2 MESSAGE FROM THE ROSH YESHIVA Sefer Shemos is the story of the emergence of Klal Yisrael from a small tribe of the progeny of Yaakov, to a thriving nation with millions of descendants, who accepted upon themselves the yoke of Torah. It is the story of a nation that went out to a desert and sowed the seeds of the future – a future that thrives to this very day. More than sixty years ago, my grandfather Rav Yaakov Kamenetzky, zt”l, charged my father and mother with the formidable task, “Go to the desert and plant the seeds of Torah.” What started as a fledgling school with six or seven boys, flourished more than a hundred fold. With institutions of tefilah, and higher Torah learning, all the outgrowth of that initial foray into the desert, my father’s impact is not only eternal but ever-expanding. This year’s dinner will mark both the commemoration of those accomplishments and a commitment to the renewal, refurbishment and expansion of the Torah facility he built brick by brick in 1964. Whether you are a student, an alumnus, a parent or community member, my father’s vision touched your life, and I hope that you will join us in honoring his.

    If It Ain’t Broke – Make It Better! November 2, 2018 Second Agudah Yeshiva Summit Draws Record-breaking Number of Yeshiva Executive Directors, Administrators, and Government Officials Across the State for a Day of Learning “Last year, coming to the Agudah Yeshiva Expo saved our school half a million dollars!” – Rabbi Moshe Benayon, Associate Executive Director, Yeshivat Shaare Torah Creating an event that reaps results like that is a tough act to follow. But Agudath Israel of America wanted to deliver even more to our yeshivos after its inaugural event for NY yeshiva executive directors and administrators last year. The Yeshiva Expo – rebranded as the Yeshiva Summit to better reflect its character – moved to an even larger venue to accommodate the increased number of guests and vendors. In addition to the formal sessions on legal, funding, and compliance topics offered at the summit, time was dedicated for yeshiva administrators to consult, gratis, with Homeland Security, attorneys, accountants, Agudah staff, consultants, and the government officials who administer key nonpublic school governmental programs. This way, administrators could ask individual questions in addition to hearing the day’s sessions. Another innovation of the Yeshiva Summit, which occurred at Terrace on the Park on October 24, was the Legislative Luncheon, at which nearly 20 New York City, New York State, and Federal elected officials participated. The luncheon provided an opportunity for our community to express its appreciation for the millions of dollars in NYC, NYS, and federal security and other funding streams funds that Agudah has advocated for and which help keep our mosdos humming safer.
